Imagination Foundation Partners with The Boxtrolls
Woot, it’s The Boxtrolls again and this time I’m here to tell you about their new partnership with Imagination Foundation! The mission of the Imagination Foundation is to find, foster and fund creativity and entrepreneurship in children around the world. What better partnership could they have come up with than that of The Boxtrolls? The Boxtrolls Cardboard Challenge, where kids can create and build crafts inspired by the movie, using cardboard boxes as the main resource – just like the Boxtrolls themselves do. The partnership is twofold – there is a contest encouraging kids to create their own crafts out of cardboard boxes for a chance to win prizing (must submit via social with a custom hashtag). Secondly, there will be events hosted across the country, where participants can attend and win “What’s in the Box?”-themed packages at hosted events (a list of cities, dates and times for the hosted events in the Boxtrolls Cardboard Challenge!
